APC Releases Statement, Kicks Against The Election Of Saraki, Dogara As Senate President, House Speaker

By

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as totally unacceptable and the highest level of indiscipline and treachery the conduct of Tuesday's inauguration of the National Assembly that led to the emergence of Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively. Continue…

"Senator Bukola and Hon. Dogara are not the candidates of the APC and a majority of its National Assembly members-elect for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker. The party duly met and conducted a straw poll and clear candidates emerged for the posts of Senate President, Deputy Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, supported by a majority of all Senators-elect and members-elect of the House of Representatives. All National Assembly members-elect who emerged on the platform of the party are bound by that decision.

"The party is supreme and its interest is superior to that of its individual members," the party said in a statement issued in Abuja Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed.

"Consequently, the APC leadership is meeting in a bid to re-establish discipline in the party and to mete out the necessary sanctions to all those involved in what is nothing but a monumental act of indiscipline and betrayal to subject the party to ridicule and create obstacles for the new administration," it said.

APC decried a situation in which some people, based on nothing but inordinate ambition and lack of discipline and loyalty, will enter into an unholy alliance with the very same people whom the party and indeed the entire country worked hard to replace and sell out the hard won victory of the Party.

"There can be no higher level of treachery, disloyalty and insincerity within any party," the party said, vowing to resolve the matter using all constitutional and legal means available to it.

Meanwhile, the APC has asked all its loyal Senators-elect to please report to the Senate to be sworn-in in order to discharge their constitutional duties.

This rat ate the better part of a $100 dollar note, rendering it useless. The angry owner of the cash made his judgement when he caught the rat, tortured and crucified it. We might not blame the rat, it doesn't know how much a dollar costs in Nigeria at the moment...lol
